Glueball, this thread was started by a controller reviewing the situation after the chaos last Saturday. Blind Freddy knows that as far as typhoons go, it was a bit of a wimp. Never the less, the airlines (including I guess your employer) elected to suspend virtually all flights for between 8 to 12 hours. This led to a massive backlog of traffic that had to be dealt with. Well may your adrenalin rush have been able to cope with your cheap beer at DB Plaza (or where ever), but try telling that to some kid on Terminal Radar East who was a heartbeat away from going under, with no relief in sight.
